Abstract: This study proposes a novel physics-informed optimization approach to account for nonlayered soil conditions for the dynamic soil–structure interaction analysis that is critical for structural health monitoring involving ...

Abstract: Urban underground comprehensive pipe galleries (referred to as UCPGs) often have large rectangular cross sections and are now widely used as underground tunnel spaces for accommodating various engineering pipelines used ...

Abstract: To investigate the responses of inclined loaded piles in layered foundations, this paper proposes a generalized solution based on the principle of minimum potential energy. First, the energy equations for an inclined loaded ...

Abstract: A series of model tests about vibroflotation were conducted to investigate soil property change on silica sand foundations, especially for earthquake-resistant behavior. First, the process of double-point vibroflotation ...

Abstract: Geogrid-reinforced calcareous sand (GRCS) is an attractive alternative to enhance the bearing capacity and stability of geotechnical structures in island and coastal areas. Understanding the geogrid–particle interaction ...

Abstract: To investigate the behavior of X-section cast-in-place concrete piles (XCC pile), a series of static load tests for piled foundation are conducted on the basis of a soft soil reinforcement engineering for a sewage treatment ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical solution methodology for a tubular structure subjected to a transient point loading in low-strain integrity testing. The three-dimensional effects on the pile head and the applicability ...

Abstract: The resistance of the soil inside a pipe-pile’s cavity to the horizontal dynamic response of the pipe pile is quantified by extending a well-established analytical model from the literature for the soil surrounding solid ...

Abstract: Euler beam theory is always used for soil–pile analysis; however, its use is questionable for laterally loaded large-diameter monopiles. In this paper, the solution on the static impedances of monopiles under a combination ...

Abstract: This study was aimed at exploring the dynamic evolution characteristics of desiccation cracking in fiber-improved fine-grained coral soil, with a focus on the effects of layer thickness and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber ...
